was this test taken too early?

i am due to have my period on the 25th of january. i suspect that i could be pregnant. my cycle is 30 days to 31 days. i had a quantative blood test performed on the 14th of jan. it was negative. was this too early? i am having another done on the 21st , is this a better time to have it done. i am thinking that on the 21st i should know 100% , right?

Update:

oh , i told the doctor i thought that it was too early , he didnt hear me. i just asked him if i were pregnant , how do i wean off the meds that i am taking.? he said lets test now , i said too early , he said never too early , tests are sensative! whatever!

    Yes, I think the test was taken way too early. Pregnancy usually cannot be detected on a blood test until at least 7-8 days after ovulation. If you took your test on the 14th, that was probably around the time you were ovulating. I think the next blood test will definitely be more accurate.

    If you scroll down on this site, it actually shows you the average range of blood test numbers for each level of pregnancy:

  • If you are due for another period on the 25th of January, it was definitely too early for testing. Before I knew I was pregnant with my daughter (now 2 1/2 years), I did the urine test at my ob's office on the 28th day of my cycle. It was negative. I did a HPT a week later and it was positive. Try again on the 25th and again a week later if it's still negative. Good luck!

  • See it all depends on what kind of test he did on you. If it was just a standered test. Then yes it was way way way to early...

    I had that happen with my first. I went to the hospital. And I was not even late on my period. Well he did a test there. And it was negative.

    But 2 weeks later with a urine test. It was postive.
